CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-It was reported
here to-day that the Wisconsin Central
company is heavily interested in the
deal on foot to Oust the present manage
ment of the Northern Pacific, the pur-
pose being to turn the Northern Pacific
traffic over to the Wisconsin Central
lines, and to make the Centrars Chicago
terminals more valuable. The latter
property represents an outlay of
s6,0OO,0OO, and the larger part
of the money was advanced
by j. A. Rockefeller, of the
Standard Oil company. At present
but two companies are using the facili-
ties, the Wisconsin Central and the Min
nesota & Northwestern, and their busi-
ness is not sufficient to pay the interest
on the bonds. Rockefeller owns S5,O0O,-
600 of Union Pacific stock, is large
shareholder in the Oregon Transconti-
mental, and, with Elijah Smith, has
pooled issues to secure control of the
Northern Pacific, as stated. Both par
ties are actively canvassing among Chi
cagO shareholders of the last mentioned
company to secure the use of proxies at
the coming elections

THE BLOWING WE'LL.
A Remarkable Phenomenon Near
Beardsley, MINI.

Special to the Globe.
PRIOR, Minn., Aug. 30.-,The blowing
well near Beardsley has acquired an eX-
tended reputation, and it is the talk of
all the country roundabout. 1t is 10
Gated near the residence and on the
farm of Mr.. Flood, four miles north of
the village of Beardsley. Mr.. Flood has
had hard time at getting a supply of
water for his farm use, but he came to
the conclusion that there was water
somewhere underneath and he was 60
ing to find it. He accordingly engaged
a drill and went to work, and at the
the time of striking the vein of air he
was down $50 feet. After leaving the
surface soil they passed through fifty
feet of common yellow clay; they then
passed through 10 of blue clay; next
was ten feet of gravel interSperSed with
coal and slate, and lastly ten feet of
clear slate, under which was the space
occupied with this compressed air. The
air as it comes up seems to contain a
large amount of natural gas, which
smells nearly like Fraser's axle grease,
and cannot be diScerned easily only by
placing the hands in the air and smell
ing of them. 1t also leaves a greasy
feeling on the hands. The temperature
of this air as it comes out of the well is
so degrees F., and it comes up with a
power that has not been definitely deter
mined. A four inch one-half inch rod
bolt thrown into the pipe is elected imme-
diately and thrown up into the air about
three feet. A twelve-inch bolt of the
same sized rod placed in the tube keeps
about three-fifths of its length out of the
pipe, and when pressed down will be
thrown out. Water thrown on the pipe
is Immediately turned into spray. A
short pipe inserted partly in the current
will produce a sound like a steam
whistle, and can be heard three miles.
There is constantly particles of coal and
gravel, about nine parts coal to one part
gravel, coming out with the column of
air.
AS to what is below still remains a
mystery. AS duStings of coal are con-
Stantly coming out, it would imply that
there is space between the coal and
slate from whence comes the column of
air and gas.

Had No Leader

FLEMINGsBURG, KY, Aug. 30.-Over
100 colored men gathered here last night
to lynch the negro Coleman, who as
saulted a white girl near here recently.
The mob lacked leader, however, and
no attempt was made on the Jail. Elihu
and Joe Hughes, who, it is alleged, as
saulted thirteen-year-old Fannie Berner,
a few weeks ago, were badly scared.
Had Coleman been lynched these two
brutes would have suffered similar
fate. There is now no evidence against
these two men, and they will be re-
leased, Fannie Berner having been
spirited away by friends who did not
want her shame paraded in court of
trial

ever, never came off, and week ago
Michael Dolan, of No. Is Bleecker
street, was arrested as one of the men
on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The evidence against
him was insufficient, and he was dis
charged at Jefferson Market police
court. Dolan was again a prisoner yes
terday on similar charge, which this
time is well substantiated. Edward l..
Snyder, wholesale liquor dealer, of
No. 121 Front street, appeared as COM
plainant. He said Dolan had month
ago represented himself to him as col
lector for the New York Bartenders'
union. He gave Dolan $40 as his dona-
ton to the union, but afterward learned
that he was not in any way connected
with the union, and was not authorized
to collect funds for it. Detectives Nc
ManuS and Bruner, who arrested Dolan,
have been looking up his record. They
say that he has collected over s700 dur
ing the last few weeks by playing the
part of collector for the Bartenders'
union, and that his profits this summer
from the sale of tickets for mythical
balls and excursions ran up into the
thousands.

says:
The more clearly the rights of the question
are understood, the more emphatic will be-
the opinion here that the Manitobans are try.
ing to derive an unfair advantage from theiI
geographical position. The best prospect foI
settlement lies in the direction of a com.
promise, of which a preliminary ought to ba
the immediate suspension of operations on
the Manitoba railway line. No effort should
be spared to conciliate the Manitobans, but
they must be made to conform to their duties
as British subjects and Canadian subjects.

WAsECA, Mimi, Aug. 30.-The latest
from the SeymOur-Henry elOpement is
that the county attorney, under whose
orders Seymour was held, has directed
the officers who have him in custody in
New York to discharge him. This is
done on account of the lack of any evi
dence on which to base criminal prose-
cutiOn, his wife refusing to make COM
plant against him. 1t Is understood she
would so complain if the woman would
also be prosecuted, but as it was deter
mined to let her go without punishment
Mrs. Seymour declined to complain
against her husband. Those unfamiliar
with the intricacies of criminal law may
be somewhat aStounded to learn that
after a long chase and capture, man
who appeared to have committed great
crime, at least great moral crime,
should thus be permitted to go unpun-
ished. Yet so it appears to be. 1t is
reported that Mrs. Henry will return,
but on what basis the report is founded
can not be learned. Neither Mrs.
Henry, her brothers or husband have
yet arrived.

HUNTING NTGARIGLE.
A Detective Visits Winnipeg to

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 30.-A Chicago
detective passed through here last even
ing on his way West. He made many
minute private inquiries about McGari-
gle, who, he was confident, from in
formation received from agents in
Eastern Canada, had started for the
West a week ago, and must have passed
through Winnipeg. There was a man
answering to the description of McGari-
gle registered here last Friday at one of
the second rate hotels. but he gave the
name of Robert ForteScue. He remained
in the hotel most of the day, only going
out at nightfall. He left the following
day, taking a ticket for MOdsejaw, a
station on the Canadian Pacific railway
west. The conductor says he pur-
chased ticket there for Columbia,
point in the mountains on the Columbia
river. 1t is thought he took the boat
there, going further north. The report
that he has been seen in Victoria lends
color to the assertion of one of the
Canadian Pacific railway officials that
he, instead of getting off at Columbia,
went through to the coast. The Chicago
detective who was here yesterday pre-
tended to be searching for a young girl
who had abScOnded, but admitted to one
of the local authorities that his real
mission was to search for McGarigle.

Schwann, NiberaD member for North
Manchester, had joined the league.
Mr.. O'Brien said that the
first branch of the league
against which the government should
issue proclamation would hold its
meeting with closed doors and refuse to
open them for the police, even if they
demanded admittance. This would leave
the police nothing to do but break their
way in, if they were determined to en-
ter. AS the police would probably re-
sort to this violence, the central branch
of the league would then ask the lord
mayor to grant them the use of the city
hall, with special police to defend it
during league meetings therein. A
majority of the Dublin city council, as
we'll as the lord mayor, are strong Ma
tiOnalistS and leaders in the league.

DUBLIN, Aug. 30.-The evictiOns on
the O'Grady estates at HerbertstOwn

by 100 soldiers and 800 policemen. All
the houses occupied by the tenants
were barricaded and guarded for de-
fense. The house of Mrs. Crimmins, a
widow, was the first advanced upon by
the bailiffs. The widow and her friends
were we'll armed with paving-stOnes
and boiling water, and both were show
cred upon the bailiffs with such telling
effect that they were repulsed no less
than four times. The sheriff'S men in
their way through the walls and roof,
and Mrs. Crimmins had the scalding
water poured over their heads, faces
and necks. After the fourth re-
pulse of the bailiffs the police
attempted to S.Orm the house.
They also were driven back. Finally a
joint rush was made by the bailiffs and
police and the house was broken into
and captured. 1t was found that the
defenders of the Widows habitation
numbered but nine persOns-five men
and four women. All were taken pris-
Oners. A large crowd had collected
about the house to witness the contest.
The crowd all sympathized with Mrs.
Crimmins and did all in their power to
cheer her up in her battle and to annoy
